Abstract

Ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen von kundenspezifischen Konfigurationsdatensätzen für Netzwerkelemente (2) eines Telekommunikationsnetzwerkes (1) umfaßt folgende Schritten:

  • Aufbau einer Referenzdatenbank (5), in welcher jedem einzelnen Leistungsmerkmal (f1,f2,f3,...) des Telekommunikationsnetzwerkes (1) die dafür jeweils erforderlichen Konfigurationsdaten zugeordnet sind;
  • Auswählen der von einem Kunden für sein Netzwerkelement (2) gewünschten Leistungsmerkmale (f1,f2,f3,...) durch den Kunden; und
  • Erstellen eines kundenspezifischen Konfigurationsdatensatzes aus denjenigen Konfigurationsdaten, die den ausgewählten Leistungsmerkmalen (f1,f2,f3,...) durch die Referenzdatenbank (5) zugewiesen sind.

    A method for generating customer-specific configuration data records for network elements (2) of a telecommunication network (1) comprises the following steps:
  • Setup of a reference database (5), in which each individual performance feature (f1, f2, f3, ...) of the telecommunication network (1) is assigned the configuration data required for this;
  • The customer selecting the performance features (f1, f2, f3, ...) desired by a customer for his network element (2); and
  • Creation of a customer-specific configuration data set from the configuration data assigned to the selected performance features (f1, f2, f3, ...) by the reference database (5).
